Tasmania offers
UNIQUE EXPERIENCES - Tasmania offers travellers one of the most unique and pristine locations in the world. NATURAL ATTRACTIONS - Pristine wilderness, rugged mountain ranges, pure white sandy beaches, breathtaking scenery and unique flora and fauna are major draw cards for visitors. ICONIC ATTRACTIONS - Tasmania has strong international awareness of our iconic attractions including our Wilderness World Heritage Area, Cradle Mountain, Freycinet Peninsula, Bay of Fires and Port Arthur. HERITAGE ATTRACTIONS - Launceston and Hobart, in particular Battery Point and Salamanca, offer rich heritage experiences with walking trails and museums. Tasmania has five of Australia’s eleven World Heritage listed convict sites, providing an insight into early colonial life. There has also been sensitive re-purposing of historic buildings, such as Hobart’s former IXL jam factory, now the Henry Jones Art Hotel. ECO ADVENTURE - Our clean rivers, oceans, mountains, beaches and forests provide a wonderful opportunity to offer soft and hard core tourism adventures such as those offered by Bruny Island Cruises, The Maria Island Walk, Bay of Fires Walk, Franklin River Rafting, Derby Blue Pods Ride, and Three Capes Track. HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY - The hospitality industry is the third largest employer and Tasmania offers incredible gastronomic experiences, and food and wine trails. VIBRANT ARTS AND CULTURAL SCENE - Tasmania has an active and thriving arts scene with strong participation rates. We attract national and international festivals, exhibitions and events. Tasmania is home to many outstanding venues, including The Museum of Old and New Art – MONA – Australia’s largest private museum and art gallery. MONA has received international acclaim and is a major tourist attraction. According to a recent Australia Council report, more artists and people are involved in creative industries per capita in Hobart than anywhere else in Australia.
